Frisco Pitches Itself to Amazon With Snappy Little Video

When asked earlier this month whether Frisco would join the scramble of Collin County cities vying for Amazon’s affections, a spokeswoman for the city said she could neither “confirm or deny any level of involvement in any potential economic development projects.”

A cute new video hosted on the city’s social media pages seems to dispel that mystery. Over highlights of the Cowboys’ flashy new home base and Jamba Juice, Frisco Mayor Jeff Cheney works to charm Amazon into building its second headquarters in the North Texas boomtown, where people “live, work, and play by our motto [hands up, all together now]: progress in motion.”

We’re left with a few questions, and a comment:

Will Amazon come down with a bad case of what Jerry Jones calls the Frisco flu? Is that dangerous?

Has Mayor Mike Rawlings, who has left open the possibility of Dallas making a regional pitch for HQ2, seen this video? Frisco doesn’t seem interested in talking that regional talk. Where’s your snappy, well-edited pitch video, Dallas?

Who thought of the bit at the end of the video, with Alexa? Funny. Give them a raise.

Frisco: Now with a conveniently-located downtown toxic lead dump. Probably not something the Chamber wants to discuss.

And Denver has the infamous “Rocky Flats” a plutonium nuclear bomb trigger toxic waste dump craftily designated as a”wild life refuge” to appease the naive. Chicago has more than a few hazards in and around the general metropolitan area.

Except of course that Rocky Flats is not located in Denver….

Rocky Flats Glows

Maybe not technically, as it’s located in a ‘Denver Metro Area.’ But it sure did poop out radioactive fall out all over Denver and the surrounding areas with fires, illegal dumping and poor nuclear waste management practices.

Frisco is the fastest growing city in America for a reason but ya’ll keep up that snobbery towards the suburbs. Apparently it still sells papers.

MattL1

What in the hell does “fastest growing” have to do with the quality of life in a city? All it tells me is that there weren’t very many people there before and land is cheap. Hardly a selling point for anyone looking for more than sprawl.

kellwoohoo

As a Real Estate agent, I can tell you land isn’t cheap in Frisco. It is one of the more expensive suburbs to purchase a home in the DFW area. The majority of buyers come to me wanting to live in Frisco but quickly realize they can’t afford it. Most of them end up buying in Little Elm, Celina, McKinney, The Colony or Prosper but hope they can afford Frisco the next time they buy a home. If Frisco did have cheap land and more affordable housing options (especially for first time buyers), Frisco would actually be booming even more than it already is!

So you are saying that Little Elm, Celina, McKinney, The Colony and Prosper are where families who can’t afford Frisco go to live, all the while waiting to get enough money to move to Frisco?
There you have it, the new slogan: “Frisco, the aspirational city”.
That will snare Amazon for sure!

kellwoohoo

Frisco is the fastest growing city in the USA, so clearly people are moving there in droves. However, the notion that people just move there because it’s cheap is false. It is hard to find any new homes under 400K in Frisco while most of the neighboring cities offer new homes closer to 300K. So cheap land is not driving it’s growth. If anything, it’s would be growing faster if there were more affordable housing options.

Does it really matter if it is the fastest growing city or the 3rd fastest or even 10th fastest? I mean the argument that Frisco is not a desirable place to live is still holds false regardless of where it falls in the top 10. It just becomes an exercise in pettiness.

Mavdog

Apparently the fall to number 2, or not even the top 10 according to Forbes, has touched a nerve. Applying the word “hate” seems a bit over the top. Not too sure that sensitivity will appeal to those aspirational buyers you are looking for.
The lady doth protest too much methinks…

kellwoohoo

Forbes list came out in February. The other article I provided stating it was #2 was published in May. Protest too much? I am not the one arguing what place it lands on the list, you are. I think it’s all silly and petty because again, if you are in the top 10, you are still a “hot” city and again it has zero to do with the original argument you jumped in where the other person claimed it was all due to cheap land.

Wow, sexist much? You call me an idiot, honey and talk about my panties. You sure you aren’t the Trump voter? You seem to have a lot in common. And by the way, I didn’t vote for Trump and neither did most of my friends/family. Maybe try not to stereotype people so much.

Don’t forget that Frisco High School is the only public school of which I am aware that has the lowly garbage can ravaging raccoon as its official mascot. Go Fightin’ Raccoons!

You are an idiot, Frisco (and Collin County as a whole) has one of the fastest growing Asian and Indian populations. You already made up your mind that you hate Frisco and are twisting the facts to match your predetermined hypothesis. This is probably not even an original thought, someone probably told you this and you just agree and spew hatred about something you know nothing about.

Granted, there are things about Frisco that can be better, but you will always be an a-hole.
